zarraspook Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 I thought it was “TIME” for the walleye to be on the dam... I arrived at Crabtree ramp at 5pm and had the ramp and parking lot to myself...Seen one boat working the face of the dam Worked my way to the dam; by graphing points from Crabtree to the dam.. I did graph several fish in the 25-20 foot range and a few in the 30-35 foot range.. Arrived at the dam about 6pm.. water temp was 42.8 .. Right in the “sweet spot” for the start of the spawn.. The other boat left about 6:15pm, before I got close enough to ask about fishing.. I work the east half of the dam ( 15-30 foot range ) with nightcrawers & slow trolled crankbaits until 8pm.. I graphed only a half-a-dozen fish ( 20-30 foot ) and never had a strike... The water temp had dropped to 40.1 and my fingers temp was at approximately 35 below !!! Long story short = NOT YET... "Look up OPTIMIST in the dictionary - there is a picture of a fishing boat being launched"
duckydoty Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Thanks for the report. Hopefully this week things will pick up. A Little Rain Won't Hurt Them Fish.....They're Already Wet!! Visit my website at.. Ozark Trout Runners
mjk86 Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 My brother was down this past weekend also fished saturday only. In the mutton creek area, throwing jerkbaits. No walleye for them yet either, only a few bass. The bass were nice ones though 3-4lbs. I think they were marking low 40's too.
